Job description

Compensation: $20 - $24/hour. Weekly pay, fast interview, quick response.

If you're drawn to the pace and purpose of a college or university financial aid office -- helping students navigate funding, keeping records straight, and making a complex process feel manageable -- this is the kind of work you're built for. ProPivotal is building a candidate pool for temporary administrative assignments supporting financial aid operations at Boston-area higher education institutions.

• Meaningful administrative work. Financial aid offices run on accuracy and care. You'll put both to use -- processing documents, maintaining student records, responding to inquiries, and keeping the office moving during high-volume periods like enrollment and award season.
• A setting that fits your background. If you've worked in a registrar's office, bursar's office, student services, or any higher ed administrative role, you'll recognize the rhythm here immediately.
• Transparent pay. Compensation listed above -- no guessing, no negotiating in the dark.
• ProPivotal's process is fast.

What you bring:

• Experience in administrative support, ideally within a college, university, or student-services environment
• Comfort with student information systems, databases, or office software -- and a sharp eye for detail when handling sensitive records
• A calm, professional presence when working with students and families who may be stressed about financial decisions
